Cheap EZ Clutch Stop

Post by spitfun » Sun Jan 15, 2023 3:36 pm

I have had an issue with the long clutch travel and this fixed my problem. I picked these chair sliders up (see pic) and super glued 4 of them to the original stop,now the car starts about a 1/2" from them and it no longer seems too long of a throw,made shifts smoother and I no longer need to be conscious of how far I put the clutch in-one less thing to think about during spirited driving.

I can understand the logic, but tbh I always learned where the bite point was on my cars and very soon adapted to how far down I actually had to move the pedal.
I suppose if you're in and out of a few different cars then this does help.

Always happy to help if I can.
